Tire makes a whining noise that increases at higher speed

SOURCE: whirring/whining noise from rear trans-axle

check your rear end and make sure it has plenty of gear oil..if full then there is friction in it somewhere and it is probly getting ready to go out.

Back pressure from a clogged catalytic converter can also cause this problem.

usually if noise is made when turning right it would be the right wheel bearing easiest way to check would be to lift the car off the ground on that side until tire clears the ground and spin the wheel to see if it makes noise also try grabbing the wheel on the top and bottom at the same time and see if you can move the wheel back and forth checking for slack.

Sounds like you have a capacitor problem.It could be a number of issues , but i suggest you check the alternator one first.

If you unplug the power cable to the back of the alternator and the whining goes away then replace the capacitor(usually only one bolt/screw)and you should be OK.

If not I sometimes have dissconnected the + wire from the HT coil when the car is running and the same applies,and if this works replace the capacitor or fit one if there isn't.

If none of this helps fit one to the + wires of your radio.

Please leave fair comment if I have helped you.

Thank you

you have a wheel bearing going out. see if it gets quieter if you turn one way or the other that will tell you what side it is on
